Utility Room Flooring in Hitchin

A utility room takes a washing machine, a dryer, muddy boots and the dog, and its floor is chosen the way a kitchen's is, only harder: rigid vinyl listed as waterproof, or porcelain tile. In Hitchin 80% of homes are houses, most of them semi-detached houses (31%), so the questions are the subfloor and the underlay rather than impact sound.

Utility Room in Hitchin

Utility Room flooring in Hitchin: what the housing says

The North Hertfordshire district counts 56,732 households in the 2021 census, and the mix of houses and flats in that count is what decides how a utility room floor is specified here.

Semi-detached houses are 31% of the North Hertfordshire stock, and the semi's utility is usually the old garage or a slice of the extension, on a slab that was not laid for a living room. A rigid-vinyl floor bridges small unevenness in it; a tile needs it levelled first. The 305 x 610 mm SPC click tiles are the stone look without the levelling job.

Owner-occupation is 66% in North Hertfordshire, and an owner fitting out a utility in Hitchin is choosing between a tile that matches the kitchen and a vinyl that is warmer to stand on while the machine runs; both are listed for the underfloor heating a new utility often has.

Local fact sheet

Hitchin's homes, by the numbers

North Hertfordshire in the 2021 census: 56,732 households, 79% houses, 20% flats.

Hitchin covers SG4 and SG5 — Hitchin Bearton, Highbury, Oughton and Priory, with Graveley, St Ippolyts and Wymondley, Codicote and Kimpton, and Cadwell around them. It sits in North Hertfordshire, a district. Ownership was 64.8% at the 2021 census and moved less than a point from 2011; social renting is relatively high for the county at 18.7%. Hitchin has a substantial older core, and that is where the flooring decision needs a check before it needs a choice: in a listed building or a conservation area, original boards are not simply yours to lift. Confirm the designation first. Elsewhere the usual question applies — timber or slab, and the answer sets the underlay.

Hitchin is a post town as well as a town, so an SG4 address in Graveley, St Ippolyts or Wymondley carries the name on the envelope without sitting inside the place. The ward says more about the house here than the line above the postcode does.

Above the ground floor of an SG5 block the slab underfoot has a heated home beneath it rather than earth: room temperature year round, and no ground damp for a meter to find.

Delivery times and options depend on the delivery postcode. See Delivery & Returns for the applicable estimate.

Guides

Before you choose

Before you order in Hitchin

  • The oldest slab in the house A utility is often on it. A hygrometer reading, dry to BS 8203 practice, before any floor.
  • Edges sealed, appliances on a tray A floor listed as waterproof keeps a leak on the surface; a sealed edge keeps it off the wall.
  • Matt over polished A utility floor is wet more often than a kitchen's. A matt tile or a textured vinyl for the footing.
  • The old scullery slab A semi's utility is often the old scullery, on the oldest slab in the house. The hygrometer reading first.
  • Wear layer for the wet end A utility floor kept for years takes the 0.55 mm vinyl or the matt porcelain; both are cleaned with low moisture and no standing water.

Questions

Utility Room flooring in Hitchin: questions, answered

What floor should go in a utility room in Hitchin?

Rigid vinyl listed as waterproof, in the plank or the click-tile format, or a matt porcelain tile. Both cope with a leak and a wet mop; the vinyl floats over an old slab, the tile needs it levelled. The base has to be dry under either.

Can a washing machine sit on a click vinyl floor?

A floating floor carries an appliance; what it should not do is be pinned by it at one point and expected to move elsewhere. A tray under the machine and the expansion gap kept at the walls are the two details.

Is laminate all right in a utility room?

Laminate is kept out of the rooms that get wet in this range, and a utility is one of them. The rigid vinyl gives the same look with the waterproof listing.

Do you deliver utility room flooring to Hitchin?

Yes. We deliver across Hitchin and Hertfordshire from our UK warehouse, including the SG4 and SG5 postcode districts. Delivery cost and timing depend on the delivery postcode and are shown at checkout, and samples come by post first so the floor can be seen in the room before the full order.

Can I see a utility room sample before ordering in Hitchin?

Yes: cut samples are £1.99 each, up to two per product, posted to your Hitchin address. Two or three side by side on the floor, in the room's own light morning and evening, settle the colour faster than any photograph.
